If you have a druid archetype that reduces your effective druid level in regards to wildshaping, is there any means of bringing that wildshape back up to "normal" levels?
One method I thought of: Take a one-level dip in a non-druid class (maybe a prestige class) and then take the Shaping Focus feat. The clause that the druid must be multiclass is now satisfied, so to the best of my knowledge the wildshape would then equal their druid level. Does this work?
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Okay, thanks! Now to see if there are any prestige classes that fit both fluff and crunch-wise for my character concept better than just eating the penalty...
Are there any other methods that'd work for me to consider?
James Risner, that's true if you have full wildshape progression. This was addressing an archetype that decreases said progression (specifically, the urban druid archetype, which gives a -4 level penalty).
Anyway, Stargazer seems like a neat fit. A one-or-two level dip may well be worthwhile.
Edit: I think I value the feat, the wild empathy gains, and the protection domain advancement more than I do what the Stargazer would grant +2 or 3 levels of wildshape.

Linea, you don't have Druid normal wild shape. You have -4 effective level. So you take urban Druid levels + up to 4 non Druid levels - 4 = your effective level.
In your view it's pretty obvious. In my view also obvious. One of us is wrong and only a FAQ can resolve. Short of that, expect table variance.
